Suffocate
By: Noah Eaton

My world is trapped inside a bottle, corked in by darkness
Sometimes I feel so lost, I feel like the only tree standing, dying slowly and painfully
Now I'm being shed at the sawmill of sadness, my home is tearing apart
And I feel terrible having others know me and be part of my world, leave me to be

I am a jaded genie, cursed and can never be set free
My skin is cold, my tired weary eyes struck in desertification
There is nothing left of me, I am petrified
My life is an Energizer bunny, and now it's stopped, obsolete and forbidden

All I ever wanted was loving care in this world,
Am I a fool to think that there is someone who could read my lips frozen shut
Am I a fool to think that there is nothing but sunshine on the other side of the clouds?
I guess I've been simply deceived by the joker, all my kings, queens and jacks have fallen

I feel like a ghost, and no one can see me
All the forests in my world are dying away, and I can't breathe
The smoke and fire can't clear, my garden is nothing but a badland now
My skin is burning, and there's no water to settle it

Save me...
Save me...
Because I am suffocating
My heart is dying
Please tell me where my world has come to be
A place without love but depression and misery
Please save me...
All these cruel games are tearing me apart!
I've lost everything
I've lost it all...
I'm nothing more
Than a sad boy
Suffocating...
